Uncraftable Ice
by TheLokin
With Uncraftable Ice, the crafting table can reverse compacted ice, so a stack of Packed Ice or Blue Ice can be broken back into its simpler forms when needed.
What it does
The mod adds shapeless crafting recipes that unpack Packed Ice into Ice and Blue Ice into Packed Ice, so compacted blocks can be reverted when needed. Its purpose is to make large stockpiles of ice easier to keep, without losing the option to convert them back. Only the server needs the mod to run the recipes, and players may leave it out. Published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21.2 – 26.3, under the MIT License; the code is open source.
Key features
Compacted ice unpacking
Packed Ice reverts to nine Ice blocks and Blue Ice reverts to nine Packed Ice blocks through a crafting table recipe.
Shapeless vanilla-style recipes
The unpacking recipes use the standard shapeless format of vanilla crafting, so they follow the same rules as other crafting recipes.
Storage-friendly ice
Ice stored in compacted form takes less space, and it can be restored whenever the player needs the individual blocks.
